In January, I hosted my Winter Minis & Mingle! I love my clients, and nothing makes me happier than getting them all together and having them meet each other. It was great to host mini sessions in a studio that would otherwise be a little too pricey for a single person’s session. Huge shoutout to […]

When Meetu asked me if I’d be interested in a shoot with a few designer pieces, of course I said yes. Meenu is a model, dancer, actress, and corporate employee!

At a first glance, you’d probably think these photos were done in the middle of summer. Surprise, we did these in FEBRUARY! It was so cold, but Emma is such a natural in front of the camera that you’d never know it was 50 degrees when we shot this 😅 To top it off, when we […]

I met Alana through my good friend and client Sonia. We first met at her portrait session a few months ago (after she won an award for her film work!) When Alana reached out again to do a gender reveal session, I was so excited. Color bombs? Yes please! On top of that, I got […]

We chatted about what it’s like to move to a new city, education, and everything in between. Melissa graduated early, recently moved to San Francisco and is currently studying for her MBA!
